I Love To Shut Jack Off
When Maxim Magazine came out with its list of the ten worst baseball announcers, I started thinking about which announcers really left me scrambling for the mute button:
| 10. | Tim McCarver, FOX | His stories take us to LA via Omaha. The game has passed him by. |
| 9. | Dick Vitale, ESPN | After 25 years of the same act, it gets a bit old, especially when his lips are affixed to someone's backside. I do think it would be interesting if they partnered him with Gus Johnson. |
| 8. | Ron Pitts, Fox | You know the network thinks of your team when Ron Pitts shows up in town |
| 7. | Bill Walton, ESPN | As an announcer, he's "tarrable". |
| 6. | Troy Aikman, Fox | Mush mouthed and soft. Rip someone once in awhile, will you? |
| 5. | Pam Ward, ESPN | It has nothing to do with the fact she's a woman. It has to do with the fact she uses her voice totally wrong. |
| 4. | Bryant Gumble, NFL Network | Isn't even as good as his brother and that's not saying a whole lot. |
| 3. | Joe Morgan, ESPN | In his eyes, ff you didn't play with the Big Red Machine, you are a useless girly man. He'll stand in the HOF door with a gun to keep you out. |
| 2. | Gus Johnson, CBS Sports | I know the younger demo worships at his feet, but the guy is awful, yelling and over exciting at inappropriate times. In TV, the picture tells the story, Gus, not you screaming like your nuts are in a vice. |
| 1. | Jack Edwards, Versus | Whoever told Jack he could do hockey play by play of any kind was either being blackmailed or just plain felt sorry for him. |
